Ripley scroll
“The Ripley Scroll or “Ripley Scrowle” is one of the most important works (books) of Sir George Ripley, the alchemist. It is interesting to note that a Papal Decree of 1317 had forbidden the study into and publishing of alchemical texts and particularly forbade “clerics” from pursuing this subject and yet a little over a hundred years later Ripley seems to have dedicated his life to the pursuit of this science. The Ripley Scroll has been interpreted in many ways but still remains a mystery. Most scholars believe that the Ripley Scroll is the “recipe” for immortality but there are those that believe researchers have missed some crucial evidence. This mystery needs to be examined in much more depth in another section of this website. Perhaps Ripley may have known much, much more than seems obvious.”
